Why this SIG, right now
The intersection of cardiac and hepatic disease presents distinct diagnostic and management challenges that neither specialty can address in isolation.
01
Complex Bidirectional Pathophysiology
Cardiac dysfunction drives hepatic injury, and liver disease worsens cardiovascular outcomes. Clinicians need frameworks that account for both directions.
02
Multidisciplinary Management Gaps
Patients with combined heart-liver conditions often fall between specialist teams. This group promotes coordinated, evidence-based care pathways.
